T’s Game (playoff)
After starting the season with some losses and poor play, T’s team has gone 4-0-1 in their last five games to finish the season (including today’s “playoff” game) with 11 points and leading the four team league. So they go into next weekend’s championship game...
Back on the Ice – Finally (and with Flat-Bottom V)
In looking back in this blog, I see, depressingly, that the last post about me and not T was January 24. And, yes, that was the last time I was on the ice at all – nearly two months. But today I finally got out to skate today – and with the Flat-bottom V...
T’s Game
So, again, I haven’t even been on the ice due to money and time. 🙁 Hopefully that’ll change starting next week and I can get back to at least skating and maybe some skate & shoots, if not the weekly clinic. T had a good warm up, for him, at least. He caught...
Second Game of the Weekend
It’s a two-game weekend for T’s team and both were league games. After yesterday’s win, I was curious to see if their level of play would stay consistent. Today’s game was a 3-3 tie at the end, but T’s team really dominated the first period. Even though...
Blowout!
T’s team had a massive blowout today, winning 7-1 in a league game. The team itself played awesomely and as a team. Remember a few games ago the coach was complaining because they’d only had five decent passes in a game – well, today they had five passes on a...
T’s Game
No updates for a couple weeks – here’s what happened: T was sick twice over the last two weeks, so he missed two practices and last weekend’s game. I was moving last weekend, so skipped last Monday’s clinic. Likely going to skip the clinic tomorrow, too –...
Monday Clinic
So … yeah … not my most impressive showing at the clinic … On the plus-side, I have a new stick. The old one was wood, no flex at all and cost $19.99. New one’s composite, has some flex which may help my shot and was $69 – which is still on the cheap side,...
T’s Second Game
This morning’s game for T was a league game, the first league game of the new season. Period 1 – Shift 1 It looks like he took what his coach and I told him about skating harder to heart, because he really did pick up the pace today. He skated hard on all his...
Junior Hockey
After T’s game today there was a Metropolitan Junior Hockey League game between the Florida Eels and the Space Coast Hurricanes. I saw the Eels play a couple weeks ago at the Kissimmee rink, but I couldn’t stay for the entire game. This afternoon I was able to...
T’s First Game of the New Season
So T had his first game of the new season this afternoon and we got to see whether the extra skating he’s done over the last month and a half has really improved his skills or not. It wasn’t a league game at the rink his team’s at – one thing I like about his...
